Michael A. Schiano, MD

"I was referred to Dr. Schiano in January, 2020. He examined me for just a few minutes. He did not run any tests or anything. I asked him if I had cancer and he said no and told me I was fine, to come back in four months. I asked him if he should run tests to be sure and he said there was no need to. I felt very uncomfortable with this. Then later that evening I finally looked over the paperwork they gave me as I was leaving and in it he had diagnosed me with a carcinoma in situ. I was even more confused and uncomfortable at this point so I contacted my obgyn and explained the situation and had them refer me to another doctor. The other doctor was great and I ended up needing surgery which was performed quickly. In March I then received from my insurance company a statement that showed that Dr. Schiano billed them for tests that he did not run on me. I contacted Dr. Schiano’s office and was told they did no such tests and they didn’t charge for it and I was given another number to contact about it. The person I spoke to then contacted Dr. Schiano’s office and they told her that they did do these tests on me. I am now letting my insurance company handle it and if they are unable to then I will contact the attorney general. This “doctor” should not play Russian roulette with peoples lives and he should not be defrauding insurance companies."

"Dr Schiano is a doctor that makes you feel like everything will be OK. His stuff is amazing. I feel like family when I walk in the door. They are the best."

"Dr. Schiano and his staff are awesome. He has been taking care of my mother since May 2017. He is always kind and patient with her. He takes his time with each appointment and answers all of our questions. I would highly recommend him! HIs staff are very professional and kind. I have no complaints at all."

"My wife was diagnosed with cervical cancer and we went to Dr. Shiano. Her treatment has been very good both pre and post o.o. Even the times she was seen by one of his associates has been handled very well. He is only associates with CAMC Women's and Children's"

"While the initial visit regarding my mother's cancer was very informative and nice, all care through Dr. Shiano since has been abyssal. His is never less than an hour late for an appointment, and usually more like 2 hours late. He ignores questions when my mother has them. One strategy he has used is to say he'll be back to answer any questions about treatment, but not returning and having the office staff usher her and those with her out. He consistently fails to follow-through on simple things like sending records. He is irresponsible enough to have avoided (for weeks- until I stepped in) explaining what a painful mass is (he didn't even bother to tell her it wasn't cancer, but a complication from surgery, despite her asking him face to face). Days after my mother's surgery, when we just wanted to make sure that her staples weren't infected, he ordered countless tests (sonagram, x-ray, ct, etc), when nothing was wrong besides some pinkness around the staples. Despite the previous point, when he assumed the surgical complication that was painful and seriously interfering with her work and life would have healed (while it very much hadn't), he insisted that it had because it "should have," and wouldn't even check for himself- sending my mother off not to return for 3 months."
